Ari Lamm: Teaching Non-Jews To Love the Bible [Outreach 3/5]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, co-founder and president of SoulShop Studios, about doing Jewish “outreach” to non-Jews.

Jewish texts are usually considered to be kept away from the outside world. But according to Rabbi Lamm, this is largely a misconception, as Jewish texts—from the Bible and the Talmud to the Midrash and beyond—have shaped the course of the human story.

In this episode we discuss:

Is “interfaith dialogue” generally ineffective?
How did Christianity’s Protestant Reformation impact the Jewish People?
In what way did chazal “ignite” the American Revolution?

Tune in to hear a conversation about what the Jewish tradition has contributed—and still has to offer—to the broader culture.

Interview begins at 7:58.

Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm is Co-Founder and President of SoulShop Studios, a new media venture for faith-driven Gen Z audiences, and Chief Executive of the Bnai Zion Foundation. Rabbi Dr. Lamm is a leading Jewish public intellectual using digital media to bring great Jewish ideas to the wider English-speaking public. He is the host of the top-ranked weekly podcast on the Bible and society, Good Faith Effort. And his popular Twitter threads on “Why Read the Bible in Hebrew?” have garnered over 4 million views to date, and been covered by major international news outlets. He joins us to talk about teaching the bible to non-Jews.
